Foreign Funny School Rules

Every school has its own set of rules to keep students disciplined (守纪律的). The rules change from one school to another. Some schools are much stricter than others. There are also some rules that look strange or funny to us. Here are some funny school rules:

In Japan, most schools demand (强烈要求) that students wear uniforms, such as sports suits or skirts. But many Japanese schools even regulate (规定) the color of underwear! They also demand that girls’ white socks are folded in a certain way and boys’ heads are shaved (被剃光). And Japanese schools also tell students that they may not date, go to the movies, leave home after sunset or play video games without permission from the school.

In America, for safety at some schools, students must have a pair of indoor shoes to change into at school every day. This makes sure students won’t fall over on the wet floors and keeps the schools clean. Chewing gum (嚼口香糖) is not allowed in many US school buildings, as it is difficult to clean up. And if students chew gum in class,_________.

In Britain, strange hairstyles are not allowed in some schools. But they might allow students to wear certain hairstyles during the World Cup years. Two students had a special design shaved into their hair during 2006 World Cup. But they were not accepted by their school after that because the school said the rules had changed since then.
